Creating a stronger, food-secure Western Australia

Last financial year, Foodbank WA provided 9.3 million meals to Western Australians doing it tough.

Every meal represents hope, dignity and relief for families facing the rising cost of living.

Our School Breakfast Program continued to make a real difference in classrooms across the state. We supported 552 schools, helping serve a healthy breakfast to around 27,330 students every week. A full tummy means a focused mind, and thanks to our partners and volunteers, thousands of children started their day ready to learn.

Transport shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing food. That’s why our Mobile Foodbank visited 52 locations, delivering more than 617,000 meals to regional and metro communities. From Leonora to Serpentine Jarrahdale, we worked hard to ensure no one was left behind.

December was a standout month for generosity, with food donations reaching 495,294 kg, and our total for 2025 climbing to 5,777,511 kg – up 973,017 kg or 20.3% compared to the same period last year.

We were humbled by incredible support from our donors. Weekly protein donations from Inghams, DBC, Westpork, Harvey Beef, Craig Mostyn Group and Austral Fisheries helped us launch our first Protein Supply Program. These partners not only donate generously but also offer reduced rates for additional stock when available.

Fresh produce was equally important, especially considering our customers access fruit and vegetables for free. The amazing people at Costa Group kept our customers stocked with quality mushrooms; Beta Spuds supplied the much-loved dinner staple, and towards the end of the year, LJM Produce donated 12,420 x 1kg bags of carrots.

Regular donations of eggs and bananas from our valued partners ensured customers had access to nutritious options that might otherwise feel like a luxury.

Together, we’re creating a more food-secure Western Australia. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
